Charles Vickery |
After studying at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art, Mr. Vickery opened his first art studio in Western Springs at 24. In his career's early days, paintings were purchased for a home cooked-meal or a few dollars, and his income was supplemented by factory jobs and work as a surveyor's assistant. But by the 1950's, favorable reviews in Chicago newspapers of his work in a Michigan Avenue gallery encouraged him and boosted his career. Today, his oil paintings, most of them waterscapes and depicting tall ships, are prominently displayed in embassies, galleries and private homes and offices around the world. Among his prominent exhibit locations are the Norwegian Embassy in Washington, the Union League Club in Chicago, the Chicago Dental Society and art galleries in Chicago, Philadelphia, London and Johannesburg, South Africa. |
